The Kidneys.
The plasma passes through the kidney where it is filtered, a special filtration unit called "glomeruli" and then excreted as a low molecular weighted product into the urine. The purpose of our urine is to secrete waste products from the body. So you can see how the glomerular filtration mechanism of the kidneys plays a major role in the function of our bodies. The primary function of our kidneys is to filter out all the "bad stuff" in lamest terms.

Answer:
Cation-exchange capacity is a measure of how many cations can be retained on soil particle surfaces. Negative charges on the surfaces of soil particles bind positively-charged atoms or molecules, but allow these to exchange with other positively charged particles in the surrounding soil water
Answer:
C. The enzyme with mutation 1 has decreased affinity for pyridoxal phosphate, whereas the enzyme with mutation 2 has lost the ability to bind to the substrates.
Explanation:
A coenzyme is an organic cofactor that binds with an enzyme in order to initiate or aid the function of the enzyme. A coenzyme binds to the active site of the enzyme (where the reaction occurs), thereby triggering its activation by modifying protein structure during the reaction. Some examples of coenzymes include Coenzyme A and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Pyridoxal phosphate is a coenzyme (it is the active form of vitamin B6) that is required for the function of cystathionase. Moreover, cystathionase is an enzyme that enables cells the synthesis of cysteine from methionine (transsulfuration pathway). The binding of pyridoxal phosphate to the enzyme increases the binding affinity of the enzyme for the substrate, thereby influencing its activity. In this case, it is expected that mutation 1 reduces the binding affinity of the enzyme to the cofactor, and thereby the cofactor is required at a higher concentration to restore normal enzyme activity.
Answer:
In a cross between two black-haired guinea pigs, 20 offspring are born. If both parents were heterozygous, probability would predict that approximately 1 out of 20 offspring would have brown hair
Explanation:
The two parents crossed were heterozygous dominant black coat color, after crossing 75% gives dominant black color coat while 25% gives only brown coat color homozygous
